Ethiopia’s continued existence is indispensable to Israeli security since Egypt’s exploitation of a “Balkanized” Ethiopia’s natural resource wealth, which could follow the Hybrid War that Egypt is masterminding against Ethiopia, could eventually empower Egypt to become an existential threat to Israel (once again).

The Palestinian issue remains “the clearest example of the existing dysfunction” in the international system, and the suffering endured by Palestinians must not be allowed to become “a normalized reality or a protracted crisis,” Egypt’s prime minister told the UN General Assembly on Friday.

Houthi officials have put Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan on notice amid the ongoing Saudi-Yemen conflict, and as Riyadh urges partners to assist militarily against the Ansar Allah movement. Iran's state Nour News, which is affiliated with the country's Supreme National Security Council, has issued a report saying the three Saudi allies "will likely be targeted in the next stages"
 - per a Houthi official.

US Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe met Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi Sunday in a rare visit to Cairo, as the United States warned of rapid escalation in the Middle East war.

Sisi's office said the meeting, attended by Egypt's spy chief Hassan Rashad, discussed the wars in Iran, the Gaza Strip and Sudan, as well as attacks on Gulf countries and threats to maritime security.

Sisi stressed "the paramount importance of settling regional crises through political and diplomatic tracks," according to a presidency statement.

• Egypt and Saudi Arabia have agreed on the urgent need to protect navigation through the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
• The talks followed renewed Houthi advances and attacks on Saudi territory and energy infrastructure.
• About 12% of global trade passes through the Red Sea corridor connecting Asia, Africa and Europe.
• A new disruption could hurt Egypt’s recovering Suez Canal revenue and force ships to travel around Africa again.
